Kenya international Jesse Were was the hero as he scored a brace to guide Zesco United to a 2-0 win over Buildicon and into the 2019 Absa Cup final.
Were, who was overlooked for the Afcon June-July competitions in Egypt, proved too hot to be handled by their city rivals at Nkoloma Stadium in the second semi-final of the domestic cup competition.
The former Mathare United and Tusker FC striker found the net for the first time in the afternoon in the 40th minute after he was put through on goal by Lazarous Kambole.
